Hey everyone! I have a question regarding lighting on a 29 gallon tank. I mainly want some more lighting to kinda brighten the tank up, it seems dark with its 20 watt stock fixture. I was looking at the 65 watt satellite fixture for 29 gallon tank. The only four questions I have are these:
1. Do I need to go ahead and buy one of those full glass tops for my tank if I buy the light setup?
2. will the change form 20 watts to 65 watts have any adverse affects on my tank or fish? such as algea blooms, stress anything weird like that?
3. if I get the glass top and light setup do I need some kind of mounting legs to prop the light up and off the glass top itself?
4. I do have low light plants ( asian ambulia, hygro, rotola indica, anubias, swords, crypt wedettii, and what I think is green fix tail ) at this time I DO NOT use CO2 injection and can't afford it honestly. will this hurt my plants switching to higher wattage without CO2? I do run 2 airstones, and two powerheads constantly if that makes a difference.
Thanks to anyone who reads this or responds
